LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION commending the MetroCenter Library of The College
at Brockport upon the occasion of being selected as the 2013 Rochester
Regional Library Council's Academic Library of the Year
WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body to recognize that the
quality and character of life in the communities across the great State
of New York is reflective of certain exemplary institutions whose
purpose is dedicated to serving the community and the needs of its citi-
zenry; and
WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its long-
standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to commend
the MetroCenter Library of The College at Brockport upon the occasion of
being selected as the 2013 Rochester Regional Library Council's Academic
Library of the Year, to be celebrated at the Council's Annual Membership
Meeting on Thursday, June 6, 2013; and
WHEREAS, The Rochester Regional Library Council (RRLC) is a multi-type
library network serving libraries and library systems in the five-county
Rochester region of Livingston, Monroe, Ontario, Wayne and Wyoming coun-
ties; and
WHEREAS, RRLC provides programs and services that enhance member
library cooperation, service delivery and resource sharing, and serves
as a forum for the unified representation of library interests helping
members achieve together what could not be achieved separately; and
WHEREAS, Through RRLC, its members can coordinate and relate their
diverse activities to create a more effective service network to improve
information access for the people of the Rochester region and beyond;
and
WHEREAS, The MetroCenter is an extension center of The College at
Brockport's main campus in Brockport, New York, and is conveniently
located in the heart of downtown Rochester, New York; and
WHEREAS, The MetroCenter offers more than 100 courses in both under-
graduate and graduate programs each semester, and accommodates working
adults by offering the majority of classes in the evenings and on week-
ends; and
WHEREAS, The students of The College at Brockport credit not only the
MetroCenter Library for their academic success, but Librarian Linda
Hacker, whom the students consider to be a mentor, coach, and friend;
and
WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body that when an organ-
ization of such noble aims and accomplishments is brought to our atten-
tion, it should be recognized and applauded by all the citizens of this
great Empire State; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
commend the MetroCenter Library of The College at Brockport upon the
occasion of being selected as the 2013 Rochester Regional Library Coun-
cil's Academic Library of the Year; and be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be tran-
smitted to the MetroCenter Library of The College at Brockport.
